"Do I dare to surf this Beach?

A little poetry from Wavedancer...

 

Do I dare to surf this beach?

Do I dare to eat a peach?

A man’s grasp should exceed his reach

But waves aren’t gentle when they teach

But waves aren’t gentle when they teach.

Do I dare to surf this beach?

The outer break seems out of reach

Huge swells progressing each-to-each

Lips crack white thunder on the reef

Where one-celled life builds nail-edged teeth.

Do I dare to surf this beach?

Once more into the liquid breech

The waves’ power impedes all speech

With board attached to fragile leash

With life attached to fragile leash,

Do I dare to surf this break?

Muscles throb and shoulders ache,

Pull for a drop I might not make

Possibly a real mistake

Body broke beneath the wake

Will burning lungs finally exhaust?

Am I ready to face this cost?

For he who hesitates is lost

Around and down and turned and tossed

Around and down and turned and tossed

If the nose pearls my fate is earned

But then the rail carves a turn

And down the line the rider burns

Forgets all his worldly concerns.

This is the life for which I yearn.

Do I dare to surf this beach?

Do I dare to eat a peach?

A man’s grasp should exceed his reach

But waves aren’t gentle when they teach

But waves aren’t gentle when they teach.
